Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum output voltage and current of the ULN2004AN?
The ULN2004AN supports a maximum output voltage of 50V and a maximum continuous output current of 500mA per channel, making it suitable for driving relays, solenoids, and small DC motors directly from logic-level signals.
Is the ULN2004AN compatible with 3.3V or 5V microcontroller logic?
The ULN2004AN is optimized for 5V CMOS and TTL input levels. For 3.3V logic, it can still function but may exhibit reduced noise margin; using the ULN2003A (TTL/CMOS) or ensuring adequate input drive voltage is recommended for reliable switching.
Does the ULN2004AN require external flyback diodes when driving inductive loads?
No. The ULN2004AN integrates built-in suppression diodes (connected to a common COM pin) for transient protection when switching inductive loads such as relays and motors, eliminating the need for external flyback diodes in most applications.
What package does the ULN2004AN come in and what are its alternatives?
The ULN2004AN is available in a 16-pin DIP (PDIP) package, making it easy to use on breadboards and through-hole PCBs. Pin-compatible alternatives include the ULN2003AN (7 channels, TTL input) and ULN2004ADR (SOIC surface-mount package).
